商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive global coverage of energy management as it relates mostly to developing countries.
In an era of unprecedented global population growth, the demand for energy has reached staggering levels. The United Nations reported an enormous 200% increase in population between 1950 and 2020, with projections indicating a further rise to 10.9 billion by 2100. As a direct consequence, global primary energy usage has surged from 3701 Mtoe in 1965 to 13511 Mtoe in 2017, putting immense strain on existing energy sources. If current growth rates persist, these sources could be depleted within a mere 130 years.
To address this impending crisis, governments worldwide have implemented regulations and incentives to promote energy conservation. While numerous studies and publications have emerged within the field of energy management, there remains a significant research gap, particularly concerning the energy challenges faced by developing countries. Existing edited books on energy-related topics often narrowly focus on specific aspects, hindering readers from gaining a holistic understanding of energy management challenges and potential solutions.
This book fills this void. Recognizing the pivotal role these nations play in achieving sustainable development goals, this book provides a wide-ranging perspective on the trends, challenges, and potential solutions to energy crises in these regions. It not only acknowledges the challenges faced by developing countries but also offers viable strategies to address them.
The editor, leveraging his successful leadership experience in global academic endeavors, including publishing a book on Occupational Safety & Health practices during the COVID-19 era and coordination of multinational research projects, is well positioned to bring together exceptional chapters from various countries. His extensive network ensures the inclusion of diverse perspectives, enriching the book's content and offering invaluable insights to readers.
Designed for a broad readership, including energy industry organizations, professionals, researchers, government bodies, policymakers, and students, this book delves into a wide array of energy management issues. By facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the subject, it equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complex landscape of energy management in the modern world.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書全面探討能源管理,尤其關注發展中國家的能源管理。在人口急劇增長的時代,對能源的需求已達到驚人的水平。聯合國報告指出,1950年至2020年間,全球人口增加了200%,預計到2100年將進一步增至109億。這直接導致全球主要能源使用量從1965年的3701百萬噸石油當量增加到2017年的13511百萬噸石油當量,對現有能源源泉造成巨大壓力。如果現有的增長率持續下去,這些能源源泉可能在短短130年內耗盡。
為應對這一即將到來的危機,各國政府已實施法規和激勵措施來促進節能。儘管在能源管理領域出現了許多研究和出版物,但仍存在重大的研究空白,特別是關於發展中國家面臨的能源挑戰。現有的關於能源相關主題的編輯書籍通常只關注特定方面,阻礙讀者對能源管理挑戰和潛在解決方案的全面理解。
本書填補了這一空白。本書認識到這些國家在實現可持續發展目標方面的關鍵作用,提供了對這些地區能源危機的趨勢、挑戰和潛在解決方案的廣泛觀點。它不僅承認了發展中國家面臨的挑戰,還提供了可行的應對策略。
編者憑藉其在全球學術事務中的成功領導經驗,包括在COVID-19時代出版一本關於職業安全與健康實踐的書籍以及協調跨國研究項目,具備將來自不同國家的優秀章節匯集在一起的優勢。他廣泛的人脈確保了多元的觀點,豐富了本書的內容,為讀者提供了寶貴的見解。
本書面向廣泛的讀者群,包括能源行業組織、專業人士、研究人員、政府機構、政策制定者和學生,深入探討了各種能源管理問題。通過促進對該主題的全面理解,它為讀者提供了在現代世界中應對複雜的能源管理環境所需的知識和工具。
